If FEC charges sanders with campaign fraud, should he immediately drop out of the race?

[beachbum bob]

I wonder what other choice he would have???

[bigwillq]

1. Yes (nt)

[metroins]

2. No.

Innocent until proven guilty.

It was a horrible idea, everybody knew it at the time.

600k for a private charter was nuts. I thought the whole trip was gong to cost 100k and I thought that was ludicrous.

9. if he was indicted he should not drop out??

kinda runs counter to all the sanders followers demanding hillary drops out now with no charges at all...but because she is being investigated.

Under their logic we should demand bernie drop out becasue HE is under FEC investigation as I type

3. Ironic, no? Mr Purity, Mr Integrity, Mr Principles, caught violating campaign spending laws...

All for a publicity stunt that backfired spectacularly and arguably contributed to him losing the NY primary.

4. He won't be charged. Livin la vida loca is not a crime.

5. Butthurt is strong in Castle Bansalot today.

Today's menu: more Brockoli.

6. Right. That's just not going to happen. nt

[realmirage]

7. If you follow the logic of some BS supporters, yes he should drop out

But in reality, it's sleazy, but not enough that it should ruin the guy. Can't believe the luxuriousness he chose to travel in on the backs of people who aren't rich and their small donations.

11. This

He proved he is not one of us.

8. I dunno, maybe he can get Hill's IT guy to teach him how to plead the 5th

after he's given immunity.

10. NOBODY CARES, NOBODY BELIEVES YOUR SLUR

You might as well save your breath.

[TexasTowelie]

15. Wow.

Do you think that you speak for everyone else that is on DU? I don't think that Bernie will be indicted, but it is a fair question to ask.

Disruptive flame bait, meant to troll DUers and sow dissent. Neither one of our candidates is a criminal and neither will be indicted or sent to prison. This is DU not Free Republic, enough with the constant swift boating of Democrats.

13. No. Campaign finance laws are as complicated as any other government rules of behavior.

Can't entirely blame a person for not being perfect in the face of that.

14. I guess what we'd have to do is see if that happens, just like Her Inevitableness.

Oh, and maybe this'll get me alerted but I've read most of your posts over the last few months and I have to say you really are an asshole. One good side effect of the coming swing to the GE here on DU is that I imagine we won't be hearing from you again. I'd find that pleasant.

16. If he's convicted, yes. But since there WAS NO FRAUD, it seems much more likely that Hillary will

be dancing all the way to the Big House ( NOT the White House!) With Ol' Uncle R.I.C.O.

Much, MUCH, MUCH more likely.
